Komatsu

Set between the Sea of Japan and the foothills of Mount Hakusan, Komatsu is a city whose character is shaped by the broad, fertile Kaga Plain. In southern Ishikawa Prefecture, it combines an industrial presence with long-established temple and hot-spring traditions. Natadera Temple, surrounded by woodland and rocky formations, is among the area’s best-known religious sites. Komatsu is also the birthplace of Komatsu Ltd., the construction-equipment company founded here in 1921, a link that remains central to the city’s modern identity.
